摘要

Though any civil structure is constructed by following the design guidelines, but over the period of its use, it shows different behaviour. So it becomes empirical to conduct the structural health monitoring of some critical assets such as dams, bridges, high rise buildings, shopping malls, educational institutions etc. In buildings, the most vulnerable components is staircase. Vibration based periodic structural health monitoring (SHM) of staircase leads to access the condition of staircase by analysing its response to various excitation conditions. The vibration signal is analysed in time domain and frequency domain plots to access the condition of staircase under study. Natural frequency, RMS accelerations and damping ratios are used as health indicators to access the condition. The methodology adopted in the study is to compare vibration response and health indicators of healthy staircase with that of staircase under study because many researchers found the health indicator values to be higher than the one in guidance documents.
